Patient having op on backside breaks wind, causing fire
:
:A Danish man having surgery on his backside broke wind and set his genitals alight.
:A surgeon was removing a mole on his backside with an electric knife when the man broke wind, lighting a spark.
:His genitals had been washed with surgical spirits and caught fire.
:He's suing the hospital for pain and suffering and loss of income.
:He says he had to take extra time off work and can't have sex with his wife. The hospital says it was an unfortunate accident.
:"When I woke up, my penis and scrotum were burning like hell," the man told Danish Newspaper BT.
:Surgeon Dr Jorn Kristensen said: "No-one considered the possibility the man would break wind during the operation, let alone that it would catch fire. It was an unfortunate accident."
:The 30-year-old patient said: "I've had to be booked off work for longer than expected and, besides the pain, I can't have sex with my wife."
:The operation which was being carried out at the Kjellerups hospital, was aborted immediately after the accident.
:Reports say it's unlikely the doctor will face disciplinary action.
